Please, please everyone: posting comments that simply put someone down is not nice. Not naming who is being dissed-- but making it very clear who by coded reference-- doesn't make it any nicer.

Similarly, putting down an entire class of posters (i.e., frequent posters or long-time posters or new posters), is another form of bigotry, is it not? We can't all be that bad.

Let's express our opinions about topics, without making unkind remarks about each other. This is what has always separated TOTV from other discussion boards. We can do this.

My squirt gun is aimed at the reset button. Please help me push it. The codes are:
  1. Start fresh
  2. Forgive and forget. (Give those of us you dislike a second chance.)
  3. If you've left: return, forgive, reset. (Russ? GG? Others?) Please help us squirt down the code words on the reset button.
Please?
Excellent post! If they gave reps here I'd give you one. As I said in another thread, Discuss or debate the TOPIC- Respectfully, not the poster.

life is so short, and we are so blessed. We lose that perspective at times, but the truth is when compared to other countries, other times, etc....we are truly the blessed of the blessed- 99% of the stuff we get ruffled about is nothing.

BUT- I do not want to get off topic...this is about GRACIE....Gracie..Where AAAARRRRREEEEE youuuuuuu.....??? I hope all is well.

For what it's worth, I must have missed all of these mean posts folks are talking about....glad I did.....I've been too busy working on selling my house so I can be down there forever soon....
